Chapter 21

It was easy to get into the office from the parking lot. The hard part was getting out of our house’s front gate and then into the parking lot itself. But thankfully the office had a private parking lot which was impossible to get in unless you had a code and then you still had to past security.

Yes, it might seem a little extreme, but in the line of business we are in we often had spies from rival companies, press and alike trying to enter the building.

But even if by some rare chance they did get through the lot, they still had the guards inside the entrance to deal with. We had great security at all exits and entrances, making it near impossible to get in if you aren’t meant to. We wouldn’t be a very good security company if we did, would we?

As was normal when I had body guards, we were driven to work in a large car with blackout windows. Rick drove and Clive sat in the passenger seat.

Devon followed close enough behind in his own car that the press didn’t get a chance to bother him.

As soon as we entered the building unsurprisingly Rob and the new guy… Whatever his name is, was at the security desk.

“Miss Bella, hello,” He announced a bit over the top when he saw her making her giggle.

“Hiya Rob. We got you a gift from our trip.” He didn’t hide his surprise at the unexpected present and his eyes only widened when he saw the expensive bottle she placed on the desk for him.

What we didn’t tell the guys is that for the amount of money I paid for the four bottles combined I could have brought a new car. The liquor is very rare and the bottle is made in some special way which includes gold. I have no idea.

Bella didn’t understand how big the currency difference was until I told her, afterwards. She was so worried and apologetic about spending so much, but I reminded her it was now her money too and we had too much as it was. A thousand here and there would not make a difference to our forever growing account.

“I can’t believe…” He mumbled, but we still heard him. “You didn’t have too.”

“But I wanted too. You were one of only a couple of people who I met here and truly made me feel welcome,” She told him. “If it makes you feel any better think of it as a bonus for a good job,” I add taking a step beside her with Micheal close behind me.

He was full of thanks and for more than a second I wondered if he was going to hug or kiss us. Thank the lord he didn’t because then I would have to take back my promise to Bella of being nice to him and not firing him for talking to her.

“You know the drill,” Micheal tells him a minute later. “No reporters or anyone who is not on the list. Even if they say they know one or all of us. Fuck, even if they say they are my parents I want you to deny them entry. If you have any problems put a call through to Julia and she’ll forward it to which ever office we are in.”

I knew that he was as concerned as me that Wesley would turn up and try and take Bella. Not that we would ever let that happen.

We would both happily kill him and spend time in prison if it meant our princess was safe. Might sound a little extreme but I doubt it will come to that.

If the worst comes to the worst, I’ll find some way to have him sent some place where we would never have to bother about him.

“Yes, Sir.” Rob sent Bella another thank you smile as we left to my office, Devon still with us and Clive and Rick were left with Rob to watch over the security cameras and watch out for any threats. There wasn’t any need for them to come to our offices, I would buzz them if needed.

“You have a fan there, Bella,” Devon shot me and Micheal a teasing look. “I think you have some competition for your wife… Maybe more than one.”

We followed his eyes which were now on a group of men we have to work in our tech department. They were all – not too discreetly – staring at Bella’s ass as we passed.

“Unless you all want to find yourself out of a job I would stop looking at my wife and get back to what the hell you are meant to be doing,” Micheal all but growled at the men who literally ran away like scared sheep.

“That was hot, lover” I said unable to contain a laugh. “Yes, Alpha Mikey is really hot,” Bella agreed and I saw a look of lust pass between the pair.

“No, no, no,” Devon moved between her and us before Micheal had a chance to do anything.
“We have a lot of businesses to do and the last thing we need is for you giving everyone a free show.” He moved beside her and ushered her forwards with his arm around her shoulder.

I agreed with him but still…

My husband didn’t hide his annoyance. “Don’t forget she is our wife, not yours and we are your employer,” He all but growled following close behind. I wasn’t too pleased with him holding her like that as they walked. Only I was going to wait until we got to my office to yell at him.

“Please, as if I would do anything,” Devon didn’t stop walking and Bella seemed to find the whole thing amusing if her sparkling eyes glancing back at us with humor was anything to go by. It was enough to get rid of any anger I felt at that moment. Though, my lover seemed too distracted.

“She is sexy and I would if she weren’t.” Now, Devon was just trying to wind Micheal up. Not that Micheal noticed. “Would like that, Bella…? Want another husband?”

“Why you…?!” I looped my arm around his waist, pulled him to my side and pressed my lips to his in a quick but silencing kiss. “He is bating you, lover. He knows she would never leave your sexy ass or mine.” Before I knew what was happening he had me against the wall with his tongue in my mouth and his hard length pressing against mine.

“I don’t know about you, but I freaking love when they do that.” I heard Bella say. “I could watch them all day,” Devon mumbled something I didn’t quite hear. Not that I was bothered. I could quite happy do Micheal here and now, fuck what our employees said. It’s our company and what we say goes.

I couldn’t fight a moan escaping my lips into his when I felt him take hold of my length through my trousers.

“Fuck sake! When did I become the sane one?!” Our partner mumbled and I felt Micheal being pulled from me. I opened my eyes just in time to see Devon release Micheal, who grabbed Bella’s hand and then mine before announcing to an audience I didn’t know we had.

“That’s right, both of these are mine.” He held our linked hands in the air. Devon palmed his face and shook his head and Bella and I shared a smile before she ended up giggling.

More than one woman cooed. I had a feeling it was more about my and Micheal’s relationship than Bella’s and us. But that is only because they wished they were her and the men, us.

“If anyone mentions this to anyone outside the company even after the Wade’s public announcement the person or persons will be fired and everyone else will have their yearly bonuses cut. So think about it before you do it,” Not me but Micheal warned. I could see Bella was surprised by our puppy dog’s teeth, though she hid it well.

With that everyone scurried back to where ever they came from and we resumed our walk to my… Well, I guess it’s mine and Bella’s now. Though expect Micheal will often hang around too or take her to his. Good job I thought of that.

“I phoned ahead and have sent Mark – the new intern I hired – to do a coffee run. In your two’s case, decaf,” Devon smirked. “After all you are trying for babies and I heard somewhere caffeine is bad for the little men. And for the princess, a cinnamon tea latte – no caffeine – and a blueberry scone.”

Mine and Micheal’s expressions were matching. “Nice to know who your friends are.” Bella rolled her eyes and thanked him. He grinned and replied, “No problem. Women are meant to be treated. You guys, on the other hand,” He eyed us. “You have been away for a week and I bet you haven’t been working out. Well, other than the sexy kind…” He wriggled his eyebrows, Bella brushed a pretty pink color.

Despite his words only being teasing it was true. “Stop teasing and we are going to work out after work.”

We arrived outside my office, Julia gave us an excited smile but said nothing because she was busy on the phone. “Hold please,” She said and pressed a button on the phone and grinned at us. “I want to hear about everything and see all those pictures later.”

“Brought them just for you. And this…” I place a small box with an ornament for her as I got every trip.
“Oh, really, you shouldn’t have. Not on your honeymoon. But thank you anyway. I’ll have to open it late though, the link is blocked with calls asking for interviews. The other – none media – messages I have written down and placed on your table. Oh and Cleeford wants to call him as soon as.”

“I will get on it straight away.” I went on to tell her to arrange a press conference for later today where I personally would make an announcement. But not before speaking to my PR team and contact in the government to tell them I am spilling the beans on their newest law. I wouldn’t get into trouble though. It wasn’t a secret… Alright, so it was a little. It was a law passed under the table where none would look. But it was going to come out soon anyway when a very famous politician announced his second bride.

But I have to call them to give them a heads up.
They needed to be ready for the possible fall out.

“I will do and thank you again,” She said before the four of us disappeared into my office.

“A desk?” Bella says entering the office and seeing a second desk in the room with mine.
“Yes, baby girl. It’s yours and you have a second in Micheal’s office. I know we are redesigning the office, but I thought this-” I was cut off when she jumped at me and hugged me.
“Thank you, Eric. This is great,” She placed a dozen kisses on my face making me laugh.

“Do you know what would have been better?” Devon said behind us. “An office of her own. We have enough space, you know?”

“It’s alright. I’m not a hundred percent sure what I am doing still. So I would have to hang around one of you guys to train me anyway,” She said thankfully, so I didn’t have to tell him ‘no way in hell.’
Lord only know how many guys would try and steal her away if she had an office of her own.

“Well, I would be pleased to help show you the ropes today while these guys catch up on paperwork?” He offers. “And before you two say anything, I am not going to try and steal her away. You possessive fucks are safe,” He said seriously, but there was a hint of humor.

“I’ll think about it,” Micheal replied sitting down on the couch and tapping his lap.

“I have a desk now,” Bella said excited, making him frown.

“You do and you can sit there later. Now, come here, Arrie, please? I want to hold you, princess.” She grinned and hurried over, sitting herself on his lap.

Devon chooses to sit on the chair in front of my desk as if in fear of catching something.
I moved to my seat behind my desk and looked at the small pile of sticky notes.

“So, who is Cleeford? Is he important?” Bella asked a moment later.

“Yes. He’s…” I started to tell her about the government contact. But only got to tell her a small amount before a Julia buzzed me on the intercom.

“Sir, the new intern – Mark – is here with your orders,” Her voice came through the box.

“Send him in.”

I didn’t really like hiring people without meeting them first, but Devon was good at his job and told me the boy had a clean record and good abilities. So I decided to let the boy have a chance.

Bella tried to move from Micheal’s knee, but he stopped her.

“Stay here, princess. We are the bosses, we do as we please.”

Well, imagine my surprise when the door opened and walked in…

“Mark?” Bella said with a blank expression.

When Devon said he hired a boy called Mark, I never thought…

“Belly,” He breathed out with a large smile and walked over to my desk, beginning handing out the hot drinks.”Sirs,” He greeted us.

“Go help Julia,” Devon ordered him.
The younger man nodded his head, “Yes, sir.”

He looked at me with a slight smirk and then turned to Micheal with the same expression before looking to Bella and gave her a small nod with a smile, then left.

“You never told me you hired Mark Haycroft?”
